CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Rumors of the day are pointing to The CW as the 'savior' for PAC media deal.

Biggest question I have is distribution. I keep hearing that each CW station has control over what they can broadcast.
If so, why would the CW in Tampa or Atlanta want to broadcast Oregon St vs Stanford for example?

I believe the CW does have a streaming option so if anyone wanted to watch P12 football, they'd just stream instead of watching their local CW station.

CW is probably coming back to the table after the PGA-LIV merger.

Either way I'll be shocked if they are able to offer a deal that will pay enough $$
CW sounds awesome! Can watch buffs then late in 4th quarter when they switch broadcast to Dawsons creek or Buffy vampire slayer
 
There’s not going to be a savior. There’s no last minute white knight that’s going to come to the PAC-10’s rescue. The best we can hope for now is that the 4-5 years we end up spending in the B12 help put us back on the national map. In 10 years, both the B12 and the ACC will be gone, and we just have to hope we are in the group of schools in those conferences that manage to catch a lifeboat.

Suckiness level at 11.

Still doing this? Also, why are you now hiding your Baylor sources?

Someone posted revenue numbers for CW on the Arizona 247 board. If those were accurate I wouldn't count on the CW saving anyone.

Looks like a clown show and not a good look for all involved.
 
Not sure on the source but this was what was posted on the AZ board:

Found another article that the CW's new parent company was making progress on turning the network around because it "only" lost $83 million last quarter as opposed to losing $94 million the previous quarter. P12 was screwed by the timing of their deal since the legacy media industry is falling off a cliff and the streaming model is not as profitable as cable's old rent-seeking model where a lot of folks were paying for content they didn't consume. Advertising is also down year over year in addition to the subscriber losses.

I honestly don't understand how you survive as business entity if you've never turned a profit in nearly 20 years unless you are fiddling with the accounting so that you don't show a profit on paper for tax reasons or something.

Sounds like a perfect fit fo rthe PAC
 
We loved it even more when we left the Longhorns and their bull**** even more. I wish we had video of the meeting when we informed them that we were ****ing off.
This is complete crap. The original plan was that Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado would join the Pac-10, leaving Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State behind. Colorado jumped early to lock out Baylor and Buddy Jones.

Why would CU join up with this group if Texas was the evil Satan y'all make them out to be.

Unequal revenue, Longhorn Network, transfer league offices and CCG to Texas.

Note that list of invites were all the schools UT favors as near home games for them and rivalry. Mizzou was a fine school that ended up in the SEC.

I get why Scott went after those teams in trying to make a big splash and jump ahead of what the B1G is now doing. He just got played or lied to or something. Id imagine a lot of those schools wonder if they should have jumped now that UT abandoned them.
